A two page document describing a week by week teaching program for Unit 4 of the adjusted Physics Study Design. It is based on the exam period starting in the week beginning 9th November and that teachers will use the end of Term 2 and the first week of term 3 to consolidate their students' understanding of Unit 3 content and possibly hold mid year exams.

A two page document produced by UK teachers that was downloaded from a thread on 'Supporting schools during COVID-19' in the forum 'talkphysics.org' . It has a large number of links on Forces, Static and current electricity, Magnetism and electromagnetism, Sound, Light, Matter, Energy and Space Physics. The activities have a middle level flavour.

A six page document describing possible practical activities for each Area of Study with suggested modifications or alternatives for use at home. Units 1 and 3 have been completed, Units 2 and 4 will be done during Term 2. Prepared by Vicphysics Teachers' Network.

A one page document describing the method used by Albert Park College to conduct assessment tasks online. The method is consistent with VCAA Guidelines on authentication.

Adventures of Bungee Bear: A Tracker Dr Barbara McKinnon from Kew High School has prepared a tracker activity that could be used as a model for students use at home for other Motion experiments. The files are on our Motion webpage and include video files, notes, a spreadsheet and tracker files. The material can be found under 'Springs' and 'Activities', so in the table at the top of the Motion web page, go down to the 'Springs' row, then across to the 'Activities' column and select 'Yes'.

Freely Available Remote Laboratories, FARLabs is an Australian website where students can do experiments that use equipment schools don't have. The experiments are controlled by the students via the internet and they collect their own data. Teachers can normally book time for their students to do an experiment as part of normal class time. However with students currently learning from home, there is more flexibility, but access time still needs to be booked. There are experiments on Radioactivity and Photoelectric Effect, Interference and Diffraction. Teachers need to register before they can book a time.

Positive Physics, an award-winning online problem bank, has announced that it will provide FREE subscriptions to all teachers and students until the end of July to aid schools with remote learning. Site Features include: i) unique building block method for less intimidation, ii) instant feedback, iii) random number generator to prevent copying, iv) automatic grading, v) differentiation & customization (new!), vi) alignment to fundamentals of AP Physics 1 (US Curriculum).

Interactive Video Vignettes (IVVs) are designed as ungraded web-based assignments for introductory physics students. They combine the convenience of online video coupled with video analysis as well as the interactivity of an individual tutorial. Each online vignette addresses a learning difficulty. Most of them take a student about 10 minutes or less to complete. Nine interactive Video Vignettes (IVVs) are available for free on Motion and Electrostatics.

OpenStax is a nonprofit educational initiative based at Rice University (US). Its their mission to give every student the tools they need to be successful in the classroom. They publish high-quality, peer-reviewed, openly licensed college textbooks that are absolutely free online and low cost in print. They have also developed low-cost, research-based courseware that gives students the tools they need to complete their course the first time around.
They have courses in College Physics, High School Physics and AP Physics as well as Astronomy and University Physics. The first three courses have similar content to each other, which seems comparable to VCE Physics.
Each course offers access to a text in various forms, online, as an app or as a pdf. There are also Instructor resources and Student resources, which sometimes include short videos, assignments and guides.
The Astronomy course in its Student resources section has a list of videos with their URLs, grouped by content areas. The list is 25 pages long.

The Perimeter Institute has a long history of producing quality educational material from primary to senior secondary. This webpage has a table of all their resources that is 8 pages long.
Each row in the table has the following entries: Weblink, Title of the activity, Year level, Curriculum topic and a Detailed Description of how to adapt the activity for an online classroom.
There are 14 senior activities covering waves, fields, energy transformations, circular motion, nuclear physics and dark matter.

The American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) is making freely available a collection of specialised articles that focus on remote learning. These articles highlight the use of smartphones for lab experiments (11 articles from TPT) as well as other activities (6 from TPT, 16 from AJP) that can be adapted for use by students at home. The articles have been made free to read, download and share for a limited time.

PhyPhox is a website dedicated to experiments that can be done with a mobile phone, with many being free. The app can be downloaded from Google Play or the App Store. PhyPhox is an initiative of Aachen University in Germany, the website has an English version. There are monthly newsletters going back to 2016 as well as a Forum that has many contributions on experiments, etc.

The authoritative UK website 'STEM Learning' has compiled two sets of materials, one on Home Learning to support families and one on Home Teaching to support teachers.
This webpage has sections on i) curriculum resources from Prep to Senior years, with about 8 Senior Physics activities, ii) Guidance for families and iii) Educational family activities.

The authoritative UK website 'STEM Learning' has compiled two sets of materials, one on Home Learning to support families and one on Home Teaching to support teachers.
This webpage has sections on i) Curriculum resources on 17 physics topics, with each topic having several activities, ii) 'Activities for in-school delivery' has articles assessing the research on the approaches schools adopt to support students' learning while schools are closed due to COVID-19.

The Living Physics Portal is an online resource of curriculum material for introductory physics course for life sciences. It hopes to make physics classes more relevant for life science students. The website is very well structured, there is a section for each area of physics, e.g. Mechanics, in each section several headings ( e.g. Newton's 3rd Law) and for each heading a few sub-headings (e.g. Action/Reaction) and finally some resources which are described in detail and can be downloaded. You need to register and there is an expectation that at some stage in the future you will contribute some material.

An article on apps that allow experiments to be done at home. The article mentions Phyphox which is on this webpage. It had a 30% increase in downloads in the second half of March. This article also describes Physics Toolbox, also on the page, which has had a similar increase.

The Physics Toolbox website provides fee and low cost data analysis tools to 'harness the power of mobile sensors and enhance science education'. Their website is well designed with tutorials, apps for Android and iOS, as well as Lessons. Their apps use 16 different sensors.

The Physics Teaching Podcast is a UK website with a new podcast each week. Many of them in March and April 2020 were about remote learning and 'Lockdown lessons'. The website goes back to Oct 2018, so there is a lot to choose from. Some are about the UK Curriculum and use unfamiliar acronyms, but many are relevant to other jurisdictions. Each title has a paragraph description and the running times vary from 15 - 30 minutes. There is no search function.

The Vicphysics Teachers' Network is a committee of physics teachers, teacher educators and academics. The committee sees its role as supporting physics teachers and physics teaching, and it also seeks to encourage student participation in physics.
